The race starts at the The Farm Institute at Katama Farm, a beautiful and expansive working farm. From there runners continue along the edge of Katama Bay, catch a glimpse of South Beach and the Atlantic Ocean and finish back at the Farm Institute, amidst its cattle and silos. There is a half-kilometer fun run for kids around the property and there are numerous age group awards. The Scoops 5K is a fun event for the whole family.
